On the Suzanne Lenglen show court at the French Open, McEnroe combined superb tennis with classic temper tantrums — all after his match ended Wednesday.

McEnroe and his Legends' doubles partner, Jakob Hlasek, forfeited the second match of a round robin after Hlasek hurt his right calf muscle seven minutes into the match. Opponents Andre Chesnokov and Thierry Champion were leading 2-0.

That's when the fun started.

Champion took the court opposite McEnroe and the injured Hlasek watched from the sidelines. With the umpire gone, Chesnokov climbed the chair and began calling shots in Champion's favor.

"Shut up!" McEnroe muttered to a fan who yelled words of encouragement when he hit a shot into the net.

Between challenging line calls and serving up several aces, McEnroe proved he understood, above all else, that the show must go on.

Title threat: Martina Navratilova moved a step closer to her 32nd Grand Slam doubles title Wednesday.

The No. 5-seeded team of Navratilova and Lisa Raymond won 7-6 (7-5), 6-3 against No. 4 Nadia Petrova and Meghann Shaughnessy to reach the French Open semifinals.

A stinging forehand at Petrova's feet by Navratilova, 47, won the first set. She broke Petrova's serve to give the No. 5 seeds a 4-2 lead in the second.

Navratilova, the French Open singles champion in 1982 and 1984, received warm applause from center court fans and pumped her fist as she walked off.

Last week Navratilova played her first Grand Slam singles match in 10 years. The comeback lasted barely an hour before she lost to 19-year-old Argentine Gisela Dulko.

Against the odds: Tim Henman was not supposed to get this far at Roland Garros. Just ask Britain's biggest bookmaker.

William Hill says Henman started the tournament with odds of him winning the title at 100-1. Now that he's in the semifinals, the odds are 8-1.

Henman is the first British player to reach the French Open semis since the Open era began in 1968. His success in Paris has raised expectations for Wimbledon, where he's a four-time semifinalist.

Hill says Henman is 7-2 to win Wimbledon this year, the best pre-tournament odds he has ever had.

Henman is a 7-2 favorite to win BBC television's Sports Personality of the Year award in December.

Family affair: Michaella Krajicek advanced to the quarterfinals in the girls' tournament at Roland Garros with a 4-6, 7-5, 6-1 win over Violette Huck.

Krajicek, 15, is the sister of 1996 Wimbledon champion Richard Krajicek, the big-serving Dutchman who retired last year. He reached the quarterfinals in nine Grand Slams, including the semifinals at the French Open in 1993.

Michaella next faces Swiss qualifier Timea Bacsinszky.
